Thu, 04 Apr 2013 09:50:57 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1913985#comment-2445567Is it just me or does it seem like the NFL is focusing more and more on the entertainment side instead of the actual sport. I personally never cared what was said in lockerrooms, I don’t know about others but I think once teams know they’ll be on the tv players and coaches will calm down some of the stuff they say.

And it doesn’t matter who controls it, there would still be footage on tape to be edited and heaven only knows what could happen to it. Now HERE’S a cause De Smith should be all over…but no, he’s too busy trumping up fake outrage over a nebulous collusion claim.

People really have no idea how many commercials there are until your live at a game and 20 minutes goes by, and all you’ve watched is a punt and a fair catch.

The locker room cam is a worthless gimmick, that’ll only show players sitting by their lockers.

Also, the full price pre-season for season ticket holders is an insult to your loyal customers – especially when you cut the price 50% for the NON-season ticket holders when nobody wants to buy them (Cleveland). Where was my 50% refund, Randy? Or getting rid of PSLs and any value they held (Cleveland) for the people who funded the Factory of Sadness. Where’s my refund, Jimmy?

it’s only a matter which network will air the audio first, and claim a disagreement on whether it was allowed too

Face!

experience… then on the other hand say…
“as a smart phone app.”

Sorry, but don’t need to be at the game to use that.

Can’t you just see it, its December, a cold drizzle is falling, and on the Jumbotron guys are walking around in a heated locker room. That’ll sure make the fans in the stands feel all warm and fuzzy.

Lowering ticket, parking, beer, hot dog, etc., prices will get me in a stadium. Locker-Room Chat will not.

Wed, 03 Apr 2013 20:53:30 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1913985#comment-2444457This is so stupid. I’m now less likely to buy tickets to the games if they are going to show crap like this.

Goodell, you want more butts in the seats? Do this

1. Make concessions cheaper and I mean knock 2-3 dollars off everything.

2. Make tickets cheaper.

3. Stop telling refs to call every single hard hit as a penalty.

4. Help make lines shorter.

5. Have more fan drawings and interactive things that fans can either pay or do for free at halftime or before the game.

I’ll guarantee the above things will help attendance 10 times more than this stupid idea.

Sorry NFL but this will make zero difference if fans buy tickets or not.

Now if you cut ticket prices, stop chargwa $30.00 at Met life Stadium to park a car and charge $5.00 a beer instead of $10.00 then maybe you will see some improvements in attendance.

————————————————–

You do realize all the prices you just listed are solely the choices made by the officials who run the stadium and not the NFL, right? The NFL only has a say in ticket prices, not the cost of parking or concessions at a game. If your gripe is over charges like those, take it up with stadium management, not the league office.

Having said that, I agree that adding footage of players in the locker room on jumbotrons is not something fans are clamoring to see. And the league should only be worried about the small number of teams who struggle to sell out their home games. Cities like Baltimore, DC, New York, Philly, Dallas, New Orleans, Atlanta, and most of the rest of the league have never had issues with selling out their home games.
